    Perhaps when it ran out of power, it shut down wrong. Sounds like it booted back up into the recovery partition and was getting ready to repair or reinstall the OS.

    Sounds like it started the Acer Arcade Deluxe quickboot option. I have tried that, and I ended up deleting the partition with Acer Arcade Deluxe. Search the forum, there are more treads discussing this problem/feature.
